Advice and support for the working parent

Since September 2014 lessons on how to manage your finances have been a compulsory part of the national curriculum in English schools. Money expertise, imparted to our children during maths and citizenship lessons, is designed to provide them with the skills they need to manage their money effectively and make good financial judgements.

Whether you’re adding money to help them along in the future or whether they’re saving their pocket money for something special, children’s savings accounts can be a great idea. As well as teaching kids the valuable lesson that saving pays off, a good savings account will add interest, meaning their money is earning more cash.

We know it can tough being a working parent and sometimes it can feel like you’re spending too much time at work and not enough time at home with your family.

The Working Parent is an advice portal full of useful tips, resources and links to make life that little bit easier for working parents. Our aim is to give you the confidence to balance your career alongside the everyday challenges that parenthood brings.

As well as our resident bloggers you’ll also find a community of fellow Working Parents to talk to in our forums and share ideas, tips and advice… or you can just have a good old moan!
